FRM9310 – Biomedical analysis
Course description
Course content
Analysis of drugs in body fluids such as blood, plasma, serium, urine and extracts from tissues. Attention is on HPLC methods and techniques for sample preparation such as liquid-liquid extraction, dialysis, derivatization and postcolumn reaction and fully automated systems for biomedical analysis.
Learning outcome
The aim is to give the students knowledge in developing HPLC methods for biomedical analysis.
Admission
PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.
If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.
PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
No obligatory prerequisites beyond the minimum requirements for entrance to higher education in Norway.
Overlapping courses

Teaching
Lectures and study groups and some practical demonstrations.
In addition, each Ph.D.-student is required to present two different articles in two separate presentations individually.
Access to teaching
A student who has completed compulsory instruction and coursework and has had these approved, is not entitled to repeat that instruction and coursework. A student who has been admitted to a course, but who has not completed compulsory instruction and coursework or had these approved, is entitled to repeat that instruction and coursework, depending on available capacity.
